RE in subject line

10. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
Hi - just a simple question here...

I was wondering if there was any way of preventing Windows Live Mail (part of Windows 7) from entering "Re:" in the subject line when replying to an email...

I know that Hotmail does the same thing, and I'd like to turn that off, too, if possible.  Gmail does not put the "Re:" and I prefer that way.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance :-)

Windows Live Mail not forwarding “Junk” mail to my alternative address

10. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,
I use Gmail as my main email service, so some time ago I set "Mail forwarding" on my Windows Live Mail application to forward all mail to one of the accounts in my Gmail.
I DO receive emails in my Gmail that were addressed to my WLM id, but have just checked my WLM account after updating to Outlook.com and find I had 63 emails in the JUNK folder, even though they were addressed to my WLM address.
Can anyone explain please?

“Find” in Windows Live Mail

10. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

The find "Find" option in Windows Live mail will not find messages when I enter the sender's known by name or their email address unless I enter the complete subject line of each message received. When I select a 'Higher' folder it will not find a message in a sub folder even if I enter both the sender's known by name and the complete subject contents.

I cannot find any tutorial matter for the Find command.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Windows Live Mail, Corrupt Calendar after Cloning new hard drive

09. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

My boot drive was starting to fail. I ourchase a new drive and cloned it with the Seagate software. Everything appears to nbe there. When I start WLMail

I get the message that Mail must close due to a corrupt calendar data 0x8E5E0247. All my emails .eml etc appear to have been copied to the new disk as well as the appropriate WLM directorys. I uninstalled WLM 2011, removed the Calendar directory, rebooted, installed WLM 2012. Still fails with the same error message. Each time I remove the 'calendar' directory and then start WLM it re-creates the calendar directory then fails.

I don’t use messenger

09. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
I don't use any elements of Messenger. I just use it to as a gateway into Windows Live Mail & once I'm signed in, I don't even interact with Messenger. I'm always signed in & don't even open Messenger anymore. Will I still need to change to Skype to get into Windows Live Mail? If so, can I change to another E-mail client service such as Thunderbird or Even Outlook to deliver my E-mail?

contacts in windows live cannot be deleted as from field is blank

09. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,
I am using Windows live mail and I find some 97 contacts where the From field is blank and hence windows live mail does not allow me to delete the same. In case of other contacts the From field has "Address book", "Linked in" and "Face book". I know I cannnot delete "Linked in" and "Face book" contacts as they come from these sites, but how do I delete the contacts where From field is blank. Also, when I did a search for contacts.edb, I find there are multiple contacts.edb on my computer and it seems that this may be causing the problem. So if I know which one to keep and which one to delete ? then may be the issue gets resolved.

Windows Live Mail question: Looking for something that, on Lotus Notes, is called “permanent pen”.

09. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:

 The "permanent pen" is a font and color that the user can set up, and which, when set, will be used in any email the user responds to. This has been a very nice feature if you are responding to an email by typing your comments within the email you're responding to since it makes your responses stand out and you don't need to keep resetting the font and color whenever you move to another spot in the email. Does Windows Live Mail have such a feature? I've searched for it but don't know what it might be called in Live Mail, if indeed it even has such a thing. 

Thanks in advance for your help.  LemL.
